You'll work hand-in-hand with research scientists, quality professionals, and IT teams at our customers, from small biotech startups to the largest biopharmas in the world, to develop a deep understanding of their R&D processes and roll out solutions that transform how their teams work together, while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Implementation Managers lead all aspects of customer rollouts from requirements analysis and solution design, to configuration, testing, training, and onboarding users onto the system.

Lead requirements and design workshops, perform data modeling and application configuration, develop test plans and guide UAT execution, train and onboard users. Act as a trusted advisor for customers, guiding them through the implementation ensuring they leverage and apply Benchling best practices for both scientific workflows and regulatory compliance. Collaborate with internal teams to ensure customer feedback on validation processes and GxP requirements influences product development and validation package improvements. Identify and work with sales on opportunities for account expansion post go-live. QUALIFICATIONS Requirements B.S. in engineering, life sciences, biological sciences, or a related field. 3-5 years of hands-on experience with computer systems validation (CSV) in pharmaceutical, biotech, or other regulated life sciences environments. 2+ years of experience working at a pharmaceutical company, biotech, or similar regulated organization.
